The International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) is based on the World Health Organization's Ninth Revision, International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9). ICD-9-CM is the official system of assigning codes to diagnoses and procedures associated with hospital utilization in the United States.
The ICD-9-CM consists of: a tabular list containing a numerical list of the disease code numbers in tabular form; a classification system for surgical, diagnostic, and therapeutic procedures (alphabetic index and tabular list).
The ICD-9-CM codes have three to five numeric characters, with the exceptions of the V codes, E Codes and M Codes that begin with a single letter. The legacy ICD-9-CM system lacked the specificity needed to determine an exact diagnosis as the ICD-9 codes can be very broad and it became difficult to compare costs, treatments, and technologies.
Partial searches are allowed. ICD-9 are legacy codes are NOT VALID for submission of HIPAA covered transactions. The ICD-9-CM was an adaption maintained by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) that was used for assigning diagnostic codes associated with inpatient, outpatient, and physician office utilization.
For many of our patients, peripheral neuropathy is among the unexpected side effects of cancer treatment. It's caused by damage to your peripheral nerves -- that is, the nerves that are farther away from your brain and spinal cord.
Polyneuropathy is when multiple peripheral nerves become damaged, which is also commonly called peripheral neuropathy.
Mononeuropathy is damage that occurs to a single nerve. This damage can cause an individual pain, loss of movement and/or numbness. Mononeuropathy can be caused by a variety of factors including trauma, compression and inflammation.
356.9ICD-9-CM Coding Peripheral neuropathy that is not further specified as being caused by an underlying condition is assigned to code 356.9.
Peripheral neuropathy can affect one nerve (mononeuropathy), two or more nerves in different areas (multiple mononeuropathy), or many nerves (polyneuropathy). Carpal tunnel syndrome is an example of mononeuropathy. Most people with peripheral neuropathy have polyneuropathy.
Polyneuropathy means that many nerves in different parts of the body are involved. Neuropathy can affect nerves that provide feeling (sensory neuropathy) or cause movement (motor neuropathy).
ICD-10 code G57. 91 for Unspecified mononeuropathy of right lower limb is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the nervous system .
Neuropathy is a group of conditions that affect the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord (the peripheral nerves). Mononeuropathy describes a condition in which only a single nerve or nerve group is damaged.
The main difference between mononeuropathy and polyneuropathy is that mononeuropathy refers to damage of a single nerve, whereas polyneuropathy refers to damage of multiple nerves. Both, however, are types of peripheral neuropathy.
Other idiopathic peripheral autonomic neuropathy G90. 09 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM G90. 09 became effective on October 1, 2021.
